I told a friend the other day that I feel like I’m walking the in-between. The in-between… How do I begin to describe this? Sometimes words are hard, and sometimes they escape me. But I’m going to try. Maybe that’s part of living in between two places. A place of radical acceptance for what is … Continue reading “Goodbye. Goodbye. God Be with You. Goodbye.”

When I look back at this year, I stand in awe. I wonder at how fast the year flew, and yet how slow it still seems to have passed, at the same time. How can something feel both fast and slow?
